1987 Walter D Goenig Melanerpes fomcicivorus School Hill West HNHR (23 May) 1230. Leaving. I've only seen one♂ here who is consistently ♂or/ ; only that one time could I see anything more. 1240. One more look: ♂ or/M . What about those "other"♂? No sign of Them today. As best I can tell, this ♂ must be ♂ or/M #908, a bird last seen as an adult at CV1 back in summer 1983. 29 May 1600. Banded the 3 babies ① ② ③ Bands LPink/902-43025 Brown-Laren/Laren-Brown LB/Yel Red-Blue/Orange Brown-Orange/902-43026 DB/Yel Wt (Wing) 89.0g (70mm) 81.0 (79) 82.2 (85) Length (tip) (Sheath 6") 52 (27) 49 (24) 60 (26) Culmen (tip-nostri) 21.1 (14.1) 19.2 (12.5) 20.1 (14.8) Bill width 7.8 8.3 7.5 Length Central R (Sheath) 40(22) 36(19) 41(22) 30 May 1430. Watching nest. ①♂LP-Red/ . Seen again; no sign of a 2nd band on The leg. This is not ♂Or/M (Who I believe is ♂908). Perhaps ♂Yel-DP/LP #1037? Also, the ♀M/MV-DA here. 1630. It is ♂Or-Red/ (no 2nd band); which means it could be ♂Or/M . No other ♂ seen here this F.M. What is going on here? Given what I saw of R legs earlier, I'd have to guess that this ♂ is ♂1037, and That he is teamed up here with ♂908. (The 3rd ♂ was probably in error, or a mixing of sexes/legs). 1700. Leaving. !♂came again, got a good look at both legs: he is ♂Or-Red/M ; I also am pretty sure that the M band # ends with a "2". He has lots of tail spots. The LR band is worn and could be just Or/, but I don't think so.
